How does the system of "author votes their map first" take collabs into account? That leads to two automatic first-place votes if both authors vote, and that seems kind of unfair if multiple authors vote on a map. Is there any consideration for this?

The idea we've come up with on IRC is that vote tallies are a mean of all the votes, instead of a sum, and only one author vote is counted. That'd be a simple solution.

That would cause voting to have an actual straight drawback, since your opponents would gain points and you wouldn't. Collabs getting a slight bonus isn't an issue if we get more than 10 votes, so I didn't worry about that.

I imagine this will be the best OLDC yet, given the amount of new things (Lua, linedef actions, etc.) that can be done in modern SRB2. I expect to play some high-quality maps in an hour and 30 minutes from now.
